Cover art for Frankenstein lyrics by Antony and the Johnsons

I sort of felt like the song was about feeling out of place in your own body, and coming to terms with it. Obviously the title fits with this- being born into a foreign body. Especially when he says "When I was young boy........but now that I'm a grown woman." It's about sexual identity, and finally letting himself really love someone despite conflicts with nature.
